a universe and the rest were series. 42, the answers almost everything this week on t w ah ah, ah, this is dw news live from berlin tonight, the fall out after a major intelligence leak on line. ukraine is playing down the damage from the release of classified u. s. documents. but comments from the pentagon today, may force keep to rethink its counter offensive against russian invaders. also

coming up tonight, the migrant stranded in the mediterranean, more than a 1000 people hoping to be rescued after thousands more arrived on the italian island of la producer, over the weekend and 25 years after a fragile peace deal there or worries that breaks it may be putting the good friday agreement at risk in northern ireland. ah, i'm break up to our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome, and we begin this monday with a stark message coming from the u. s. u. s. media are saying that ukraine has been forced to change its military plans after a trove of u. s. intelligence document trove was leaked online. the highly classified documents include strategic information on the war against russia. and they may

have compromised a planned counter offensive by ukraine, but keith has been trying to play down the league, saying its military tactics were always subject to change. top secret us government documents that were definitely not meant to see the light of day detailing ukrainian ornaments, weapons deliveries, russian maneuvers and spying on allies. among the revelations, ukraine's air defense is allegedly in danger of running out of ammunition. in a few weeks, ukraine's troop losses are set to be high, but not as high as rushes. they also hints at native plants to support the ukrainian military in an upcoming spring offensive. i think the russians already knew all this, this. this is information that's come to live for us, but none of this will be new to the russians or to the ukrainians. so yes, of course there's a vulnerability if, if we're not able to help you crane get more munitions or more systems for their

air and missile defense. but i think they will have already anticipated what those vulnerabilities are. russia is playing up washington spying on their life and potentially that might cause you've seen the leaks. the quite interesting that being studied, analyzed and widely discussed. the fact that the u. s. has been spying on various heads of state for a long times, especially in the european capitals has already called various scandals. that's known by some of the material distributed on line appears to have been altered, but the pentagon is racing to find the source of the leaks. experts say it's unlikely that outside is able to steal the data and suspect that it might have been an inside job or corresponded in washington entirely to moist. she gave us a sense of just how serious this league is. the situation is

a very serious friend. we're talking about highly classified pentagon documents that provide information, not only about the weakness in ukraine's air defense and ammunition reserve. but it also provides a rear window into how the u. s. pies on allies, including south korea, israel and ukraine. ukraine has changed as we just heard now, some of its military plans because of the league, and that already shows us how serious of the situation is. however, it is not clear yet if old documents are authentic or if some have been manipulated . and the pentagon here, here in washington and the justice department, they're investigating on it. yeah, talk to me about the, the response that we have seen from the us intelligence community or us officials of course, of fear that the, these revelations could jeopardize sensitive sources. and of course also compromise

important for rein relationships, especially with u. s. allies that apparently are being spied on during today's press briefing in the state department, the spokes person was asked by colleagues from south korea and from israel. what this means for their governments who are being spied on. and the answer was that the u. s. administration that takes this very seriously that they are investigating, and that at the u. s. position in support of democracies worldwide and their allies that, that have not changed. however, obviously the u. s. allies are concerned about this leak and what this could mean for them. yeah, you mentioned south korea, you mentioned ukraine. these are all u. s. allies. i'm wondering now with this leak, are we seeing the u. s. government, the pentagon, are they know engaging in some serious damage control? well 1st they have to investigate and that's, that's what they're doing. there is a criminal investigation and from the pentagon and from the justice department. and that is also everything we hear from the white house. they're referring to this

investigation on the results of this investigation in order to react to the leak and to the post potential damage it might cause. there is an ongoing investigation from both pentagon and justice department and, but they are not only best to getting a how the documents got into twitter and, and the other social platforms, but also what damage they could cause. and whether more documents might be leaked in the next 8 weeks, you know, currently, as we understand this information was leaked several weeks before the public even found out about it or became aware of it. i'm wondering, do you s officials do they expect there to be even more leaks to call while that is definitely an existing fear brand that more documents might be leaked and that we might see more on twitter on telegram or on other social media platforms. and this is why there is this investigation going on, and this is also precisely what the administration is trying to to stop. the white

house is mentioned in the press briefing that the main concern is that these documents are out there that they shouldn't be out there. and that both pentagon and, and justice department, that they will definitely try to stop this from happening again. but there is this big fear, of course d to be used for rolinda to morbid least tonight from washington cover. lean is always thank you, staying in the united states, at least 5 people are dead after a shooting at a bank in louisville, kentucky the suspected shooter, a former employee, reportedly killed 4 people and wounded 9 others before being fatally shot himself. 2 police officers are among the wounded, the aftermath of yet another mass shooting in the u. s. louisville. police said they arrived as gunshots were still being fire inside the city's old national bank . a short while later, the shooter was dead. we believe this is a long gunman involved in this that did have

a connection to the bank. we're trying to establish what the connection was of the business, but it appears he was a previous employee officer. kentucky's governor praised the police response and said that personal friends of his were victims, l and p. d, made it to the theme in a matter of minutes after receiving the call. and there is no doubt in my mind that their efforts saved lives. and they put their own on the line. this is awful. i have a very close friend that didn't make it today. and i have another close friend who did neither. and one who's at the hospital that i hope is, is going to make it through. so when we talk about praying, i hope people will. there have been over $140.00 mass shootings in the us so far this year. in this latest incident comes to us 2 weeks after a mass school shooting in neighboring tennessee. rescue efforts are underway to

help 1200 migrants. you are adrift on 2 boats in the ocean between italy and greece . the italian coast guard says that one of its vessels is coordinating the rescue of about 800 people on an overcrowded fishing boat. a 2nd coast guard ship is involved in another operation to rescue 400 people. aid ribs say at least 2 people died and another 20 or missing after their boats sank over the weekend. authorities say that they are seeing a stark increase in crossings with thousands of people arriving on the shores of the italian island of lamb, producer just in the last few days, floating at sea, packed with people, and without a captain to steer it. the ship is in a dire state. rescue is carried out a reconnaissance flight to assist the situation with this school from a nearby congo be so laying out how bad things the boat is leaking

with thinking to anyone with. and maybe this isn't the only boat industries in the area. another one carrying 800 people is also adrift. thousands of people have tried to make the treacherous journey across the mediterranean. on this weekend alone, the italian coast guard said almost 2000 migrants had been rescued from vessels in distress. from friday, through to monday, official figures shall over $28000.00 migrants have arrived in italy since the start of the year. almost 4 times bet in the same period and 2022. many of those people actually in conflicts, violence and persecution. while the numbers are still much lower than the hundreds of thousands rescued during 2015 age groups are wanting more

government help is needed to stop lives being lost at sea, unnecessarily. felix weiss is a spokesperson for the migrant rescue operation which is known as c watch. he's based in these lamb producer. he told me about the latest on these rescue operations. so currently versus unclear. what is going on. the coast guard has released the press statement there that it was getting straight to the board on yesterday with our the situation is actually quite unclear. the weather has become quite bad. so the close to the right now with ways to meet us, which is making a rescue operation under these conditions actually quite quite difficult. we have a huge relief basically that the cost got reacted by the rest coordination center

might unite any responsibility. but at the moment the people are still to see and let's say on or you can choice. in fact, since the beginning of this year, we've been seeing a steady increase in the number of people trying to cross the mediterranean from northern africa to reach europe. do you have an explanation of why we've seen this stark increase? well, the different kind of explanation source of all the extremely difficult a human rights situation, tunisia and libya, the crumbling economy of these countries, and the very high inflation argument to be driving companies. and at the same time, the president from nissan plains migrants for the current situation, we're just need to raise the tax within the company. so that really about the shape, the situation that we're going to see in the be on the show. and we're also seeing a difference in how people are trying to cross the mediterranean, if i understand correctly. i mean,

we're used to seeing people coming over in very small boats. now we're seeing larger vessels with not dozens, but hundreds of people on board, right? yes. so these large boards also will young come in for us, but it's also leading, basically the people has to take different kind of migration which they just becoming way more dangerous and also way more difficult. so people are leading crudely from 2 key to italy, often leave on on to it spread also from the east, from liberty to italy, which is then, of course, leading at different couple of boats. but we're also seen as a, a specific kind of order which is now coming from the media and leave the are quite often and they're made out of iron, but they are unseen. yet also when there's one way these boats capsizing and i understand that authorities, they have been tightening the rules that rescue organizations such as yours have to

abide by. and the justification has been that this would discourage these c crossings that we're seeing, but that has not happened. hanson. and no, i mean what cops are being brought up in the tense brands at the moment rescue ships are getting blocked. ship ships that can sail are forced by a new with carry out only one rescue operation. and we are assigned incredibly white board for this occasion. though there is no involvement of the ships and coordination of rescue at the moment because this just easy to describe and know as to the rescue n g o protein sentiment. but instead you're just rely operation with coast guard instead of it in the government's physics. mice with see watch joining us tonight from lampa do so felix. thank you very much.

let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . the national security minister in israel's far white government has joined crowds of jewish settlers as they marched to a former settlement in the west bank, calling for it to be re occupy the unofficial settlement. as eva tar was closed by his really authorities, back in 2021. russia and ukraine of exchanged about 100 prisoners of war. from each side video released by the defense ministries of both countries, showed the exchange of captured service, men and women. neither country has made a statement released the statement about how the exchange agreement came to be. police have been pelted with petrol bombs during a republican parade for the northern irish city of dairy, also known as london dairy. the violence occurred as the demonstrators who wants to northern ireland to become part of the republic of ireland, held a march to commemorate the 916 easter rising against british rule in irons.

and all of that happening just a day before you as president joe biden begins a 4 day trip to both the northern ireland and the republic of ireland. and as northern ireland marks the 25th anniversary of the good friday peace agreement that large the ended 3 decades of bloodshed on april 10th, 1998. the irish and british prime ministers signed the deal to set up a new government that would share power between protestants and catholics. it was later ratified in a referendum northern ireland as part of the united kingdom, but many and the catholic minority want to be part of the sovereign republic of ireland. and now there are worries that breaks it may have put that fragile piece deal at risk. lately hold boxing club used to be staunchly protestant to day. young boxes from all areas of belfast are allowed to train here,

including catholics. young people in northern ireland often grew blace segregated with catholics and protestants going to different schools. can hear them. kids were involved with each other. ha ha. and here that's it would have got to meet each other and neither their mit, they would never of not each other just want to speak avail. thought young men and boys here are aware of potential threats. if you're pass in certain areas that are conflict or partisan, um, if you, if they know your protestant that might not like a fall. most of the time it's not like they're sort of am calmed i'mma and they're more forgiving. just around the corner though protestant militants have being celebrated. it's a loyalty to britain that defines the so called loyalist paramilitaries, but still have a grip on areas like this. some protestants are angry because they fear that their

british identity is being strict away. and the brakes it is bring in northern ireland, closer to the republic of ireland. but on the other side of the divide. many catholics, a hoping for re unification with the republic of ireland. but she and used to be a member of the i r a. he spent 18 years in prison and was released under the peace process. today he is sure that a united island can be achieved entirely peacefully. what i think bragg said has done is accelerate the discussion and appeared around a united ireland there. because we have seen that the, the day in m o and the driving force behind praxis was english nationalism throughout belfast and other areas in northern ireland. so called peace ball, separate protestant and catholic carriers. bombay street is in a catholic carrier just behind one of these walls. since breaks it, residents have noticed, arise intention to tar. sheena. that caused even more debate between the

2 sides of the community. once per actually came along, people children that read that also liam's and yet or something. some politicians are blocking the regional assembly over breaks it, leaving a dangerous political void. that is a concern. if there is an access to exclusively democratic and peaceful means, expressing a political views that there is m a certain logic and in some people's minds to the use of violence to express political viewpoints, half northern ireland march 25 years of the good friday agreement. it's hoped that for the younger generation which grew up with relative peace, the troubles a confined to history. duncan morrow is a political scientist at auster university. he told us more about the ambitions of the good friday agreement. and the legacy of that agreement 25 years,

all the good friday agreement was the very front down agreement. it was against the backdrop of the violence. but it tried to make a new arrangement about the relationship between britain and ireland and britishness and irishness, which was a careful balance. and to make that happen, the local politicians were then work together and power sharing in an agreement. one of our problems has been that since brags us and you question has come into the northern allen politics, which is the border. should there be a trade border between the european union and the united kingdom in northern ireland, which would be a restatement of all the old devices that were there? or do we need to have a border then which man you, which if you like, managers, trade between great britain. so england, scott and whale and northern allan for that question of where the border goes, has made it really, really difficult. and recently united kingdom and the you have made a agreement, the so called windsor framework. it is. ready hoped that that will be enough to

bring the unionists to up to now have been boy, causing the arrangements to come back into local governments. but at the moment, that's not sure and not certain. and if they don't, and maybe we'll have to be into a new agreement or some kind of reform of the agreement. that was duncan morris speaking with this earlier. it has been a 100 days since louis in our ceo, linda da silva, returned to power in brazil. the left wing political icon defeated the far right incumbent gyre, boston aro, in last october's election. since then, lula has focused on reversing the policies of his predecessor or trying to improve brazil's international ties. it was a stunning political come back the lula. he won the presidential election with the slimmest mountain in decades, becoming the leader of a deeply polarized purcell. his priorities, pasting the economy, protecting the rain forest and tackling poverty. oh do cobra. i have a lot of commitments like

a lot of tasks. but the essential one is to guarantee that every child woman, teenager, and man can have a coffee, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. every day, just a week after lily's integration, a failed attempt to unseat him. thousands of far right extremists stormed the countries congress presidential palace and supreme court. lula vowed to punish the riotous, but the attack laid bare the extent of the divide. his government would have to address on the foreign policy front lula has promised to put brazil back on the world stage after 4 years of his predecessors inward looking brazil, 1st dance. as it may pulpit out, we're going to recover the leading role and respect that brazil acquired in the world and south america in africa and in the united states. like yeah,

raise your hand. russia's war in ukraine means lula is having to tread carefully. brazil abstained from the united nations security council vote condemning russian actions and ukraine will you do. and lula has refused to send arms to key if he's positioned himself. as a pragmatist question for a diplomatic route to peace and what by there. but it means he has a tough balance to strike, maintaining good relations with the u. s. and it's adversaries, china and russia. lou needs washington support for his plans to combat climate change and to save the amazon rain forest station. but his also prioritized boosting relations with china as brazil's largest trading partner, china imported almost $90000000000.00 worth of goods from brazil in 2022. when lula visits beijing this week, the 2 countries are set to sign at least 20 agreements in areas including health, education, finance, and technology. julie pardon on dogwood idea. it is believed that president

clueless visit will open up a new future for china, brazil relations and promote the comprehensive strategic partnership between china and brazil, to a new level german annual by gracie, psychology kaiser, and russia's foreign minister sack a laugh rav is scheduled to visit priscilla, later this month, getting back on the world stage, a juggling act for a president and a country with a lot at stake. or what has that lula achieved in his 1st 100 days in office? i put their question to valentina solder, associate director at the atlantic councils, latin america center black had a difficult start, tear haste to his domain office to his 3rd timing office, with the attacks of january, alt against the buildings of the 3 branches of government. but this was also a way in which he was able to have a united frank pro democracy with governors and from all the states in. but ingress, though, also coming to virginia to support him. i think they one of the things there which

english meet multiple accomplishments fridays 1st a 100 years by frank policy as a priority. politically, any cannot mclee but also with a special focus on climate. wait a few threats. a few trips by president, let himself, i'm to some of bridges. mean trading partner is mean a diplomatic partners. there is valentina saudi. they're speaking with me earlier. a pub in southern england was the arena from one of the sporting calendars, lesser known events on good friday players from all across the world, came together to compete in the 2023 marble world championships. spectators gathered in the sunshine to celebrate a rather unusual good friday tradition. the world's best marbles play as rolled up for the annual championship at the greyhound pop in sussex, reportedly 1st stage at the same location back in 1588. this year's event, pitt,
